The Illinois Technology Transfer Center/ LTAP is excited to partner with Ameren Illinois in offering Live-line Training to our LPAs. This in-person training course is from safety expert, Steve Hancock, an experienced utility lineman, and now an instructor. Steve presents how to stay safe around high-voltage overhead powerlines, and what to do and not do near them. This live demonstration of a 7,200-volt distribution system is timely. Well-suited for public works departments and first responders, this training provides good lessons on how to respond in an emergency when dealing with fallen power lines/wires, whether they’re on the road or if maintenance equipment accidentally encounters them overhead.

TOIRMA has recently added new Risk Reminders and Video Training to the Members Only section of toirma.org.

The Three-Point Contact sticker is available to TOIRMA Members. Always remember to maintain three points of contact – two hands and one foot or two feet and one hand when mounting and dismounting equipment.
